Adding to my confusion:

albus:MacPortsDev sysbh$ port installed depof dovecot
The following ports are currently installed:
  dovecot @2.3.17_0+apns+solr (active)
albus:MacPortsDev sysbh$ port installed rdepof dovecot
The following ports are currently installed:
  dovecot @2.3.17_0+apns+solr (active)
albus:MacPortsDev sysbh$ port installed rdepends dovecot
The following ports are currently installed:
  dovecot @2.3.17_0+apns+solr (active)
albus:MacPortsDev sysbh$ port installed dependentof dovecot
The following ports are currently installed:
  dovecot @2.3.17_0+apns+solr (active)
albus:MacPortsDev sysbh$ port installed rdependentof dovecot
The following ports are currently installed:
  dovecot @2.3.17_0+apns+solr (active)

Same for postfix for instance. Now, whatever pseudo-portname I give, the answer is always only the port itself. That cannot be right.
